Ad Hoc Mode: A wireless network mode where devices connect directly to each other without the use of a central access point. It is used in situations where a temporary network is needed, such as a group of friends sharing files at a party. Examples include Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, and peer-to-peer networking.
